If I may comment as an ordinary user, *please* do not use javascript in the interface. Even moderately intelligent users will have noticed the warnings about IE, and about javascript. Many will have come to the same conclusion as me and installed another browser just for Freenet, without all the scripting and applet access. The last thing we want is the multiple warnings and tendency to stall inherent in using javascript tested with IE when it is used elsewhere, which applies the more so when javascript is disabled. -- Roger Hayter _______________________________________________ devl mailing list devl at freenetproject.org http://hawk.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
